    Thanks again for speaking with me, Harry! I appreciate all the kind words in the comments. Remember, we all have our own battles and our own journeys through them. We all have different ways of addressing them and dealing with them. When it comes to hair loss, do what you need to do. Hair systems, pharmaceutical drops, hair fibres, or even nothing at all. Whatever makes you the most happy and confident with yourself is what matters. I appreciate this community as it greatly helped me through my journey. I really wanted to give back to the community and tell my story and how I found my happiness. Cheers!

    As men we gotta stop putting the stigma on being bald as looking old. If its in your genetics, you can go bald in your 20s. Why do we care?! We're men, and its one of the most manly things to do. We shouldnt give 2 Fs about how people perceive us bald. We dont need hair, its a normal thing for us. Im 26, ive been bald since 22. If you're out there questioning it, just shave it off clean i promise you will not hate it. If you're losing hair, theres no fighting baldness its already your fate so embrace it guys.

      " there is no fighting baldness it's already your fate. "
      Used to be true 50 years ago.
      But in 2024 it's false thanks to finasteride, minoxidil and hairtransplants.
      It's okay to accept baldness but lying saying " it's your fate bla bla bla " is just not true.
      I was genetically supposed to be bald at 25. Guess what? I'm now 32 years old with a full head of hair thanks to modern medicines etc..

      True. In my university classes (most men there are in their early 20s) are many bald or balding people. It’s not that uncommon how some people think.

    What's funny is I've only got compliments when I go out with my head shaved but when I go to new places I'll still wear a beanie. Then I create the "hat trap" of the fear of a big reaction if I don't wear a hat one day. Instead of just going in bald from the start and no one thinks twice.

    • @Baldcafe
      @Baldcafe  3 місяці тому +7

      Self awareness is the first start. You know what you need to do. I fell into this trap years after I shaved when I went to a new gym with a beanie on… then it was a big deal to “reveal” what was under the hat. The moment you take it off it’s done!

    Had a chuckle at the BC 2021 Heat Dome comment, also a turning point for me when the crown of my head got sunburnt through my thinning hair at that time 💀 got the razor out not long after that!

    Its a lot easier to go bald when you can grow a decent beard.
    I shaved my head a couple years ago and I had people come tell me how bad I looked at my job playing music. I have never done anything in my life where people did they usually they are polite and lie.
    Its a shame because I *will* have to shave it again probably in the next year or two and I know how awful I must look from peoples reaction before.
    Part of me I still looking forward to it though because hair gets annoying especially when you are losing it.

    I’ve been “going bald” since I was about 20, that’s when I got my first comment about thinning on top. I’m 25 now and I’m going to shave it all off tomorrow,
    I’ve always had the plan of shaving it off and tattooing it anyway (not hair tattoos) but I’ve been afraid to make the jump. I’ve always worn hats anyway so I’ve done it to cover it up but I made my fiancé promise to tell me when she thinks it’s time for it to go and she did a couple of weeks ago. I’ve toyed with the idea of a transplant but always wanted to tattoo it as I said so it seems a waste.
    After finding and watching this channel I’m ready to make the jump and tomorrow to the barbers to break the news, shave it off and have my beard tidied up. Thanks for this channel and breaking the stigma and social norm within society, I couldn’t have done it without these videos. I’m ready to embrace the baldness 👏🏻

      15 I started thinning, I held onto it until I was about 21 when I noticed the bald spot on top. then I just slowly started buzzing it shorter and shorter until I wasn’t using a guard anymore. I’m soon to be 27 and now I take a razor to my scalp every 2-3 days

    Never ever insult anyone for thinning, balding or receding hairline. It will provoke the Norwood reaper.(to your own hair)
